| Abstract: | Undoubtedly, students acquire a multitude of knowledge, both formally and informally, encompassing various aspects, particularly those related to the natural environment. Whether addressing a natural phenomenon i.e. lightning, the water cycle, photosynthesis, or the aurora borealis), a component of the natural world like a rock, a flower, or a glass of water, a socio-scientific matter i.e. genetically modified food, transportation, or overpopulation, and an environmental concern like water pollution, global warming, or acid rain, the natural environment becomes a focal point, either directly or indirectly, in the realm of study. Considering the contested relationship between science education and environmental education, promoting environmental awareness poses a significant challenge for science education. Nonetheless, it is important to recognize that both natural phenomena and entities, on one hand, and socio-scientific issues and problems, on the other, possess the potential to explicitly nurture the relationship between human beings and the natural world. Undoubtedly, the argument against isolated scientific understanding holds merit. It appears that the natural environment serves as a necessary context for such comprehension. This paper proposes a pedagogical strategy that emphasizes keeping the natural environment at the forefront of the teaching-learning process, thereby making the connection between the self and the natural world explicit. This strategy aligns with a suggestion to reevaluate the goals of scientific inquiry, emphasizing issues and problems of living, ultimately enhancing the meaningfulness of school science learning by focusing on the interrelationship between the self, science, and the natural world. |
